"Grandmaster Zhao, this matter is of the utmost importance."
The Old Dragon God’s expression darkened immediately upon hearing those words. His armor rattled with a sharp metallic clink as he swept his sleeve, casting a cold, disdainful look toward Zhao Beidou.
"A useless waste," he spat.
Zhao Beidou, who had just been basking in Xie Yushen’s sycophancy, felt his face pale and shift at the Old Dragon God's harsh reprimand.
"I truly hope that when the Old Dragon God is subjected to the frantic, near-suicidal onslaught of the Underworld Yama, he can maintain this level of arrogance. My own survival was nothing short of a miracle."
"The Underworld is a force that must not be underestimated," Zhao Beidou added with a heavy, solemn tone.
The Old Dragon God shook his head, his gaze burning with a fierce light. "My time is running short. I shall grant you exactly one more month. If your wounds have not healed by then, I will... execute you myself!"
The Old Dragon God’s words were laced with pure malice.
This was a man who possessed the audacity to exchange blows with the great founding Grand Ancestor of Great Vista! Many years ago, that Grand Ancestor had carved his name into history amidst the chaos of Central Earth, seizing the throne with the backing of countless noble clans through sheer bloodshed. The fact that the Old Dragon God could battle such an Emperor and survive spoke volumes of both his violent temperament and his terrifying strength.
Zhao Beidou gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeve in annoyance, and took his leave.
The Old Dragon God’s eyes remained icy as he stood upon the surface of the Grand Canal, staring toward Qianyuan Taoist City. His eyes narrowed slightly, his white hair and beard dancing in the wind. That once towering and majestic figure now appeared slightly bent, as if burdened by age.
His remaining days... were truly few.
He had to seize the Qian Yuan Divine Sect immediately to secure a sanctuary for his clan.
Rumble!
The great river let out a thunderous roar. Time was a luxury he no longer possessed!
...
Through the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che perceived that the Old Dragon God had entered the Grandmaster’s Small Cave Heaven and managed to leave completely unscathed. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat in surprise.
The Old Dragon God’s ability to enter and exit so freely was a blatant display of his overwhelming power. Under normal circumstances, when a Divine Tribulation expert enters the Small Cave Heaven of another, they are fighting on hostile territory and are naturally suppressed. Yet, even with that disadvantage, the Old Dragon God moved as he pleased. This proved that in terms of pure combat power, he was likely a level above Lv Qiankun.
In the Realm of One Disaster and Two Tribulations, he had likely reached the absolute peak!
It had to be said, this Old Dragon’s strength was truly extraordinary.
Li Che’s eyes focused. While his heart felt the weight of the threat, his gaze grew increasingly fervent. He was more certain than ever that this Old Dragon was the perfect candidate to serve as the primary fiend for his Ten Fierce Brushwork!
However, with his current level of Cultivation, slaying the Dragon God would still be a formidable challenge.
The Old Dragon God’s power clearly exceeded that of Zhao Beidou. In the outside world, where the threat of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations and the Will of Heaven and Earth loomed, Divine Tribulation experts dared not unleash their full potential, making the gap between them appear small. But within a Small Cave Heaven, where tribulations could be avoided, the difference between one disaster with two tribulations and one disaster with one tribulation was like the gap between a Martial Saint’s Second Opening and the First level. It was a total suppression of realms.
Because of this, Li Che had to be meticulous in his planning to deal with the Old Dragon God.
Just as the Old Dragon God intended to crush the Qian Yuan Divine Sect before traveling to Qi Tian City, Li Che intended to seal the Old Dragon God within the Ten Fierce Beasts Map before his own departure.
Most importantly, the Old Dragon God possessed demon energy far more potent than that of the Dragon God Crown Prince. This would be a massive boon for the [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit, potentially allowing his Divine Skill, the Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions, to reach its Second Transformation.
Sitting in his study, Li Che remained perched on his chair. His Dantian churned as he shattered a martial arts pill, allowing the violent medicinal essence to flood through his flesh!
Li Che’s eyes snapped open, shining with sudden brilliance. After so much time spent accumulating power and in secluded meditation, the fruit of his labor was finally ready to be harvested!
The aura surrounding his body began to boil with uncontrollable intensity, causing the air in the room to erupt in sweeping gusts. Even with the Slumbering Dragon Elephant technique working to suppress it, his presence continued to rise and expand with an irresistible force!
Inside his chest, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit began to throb violently, as if it were anticipating the coming storm of Qi-blood!
He produced the final Heavenly Martial Pill that Gu Changqing had refined for him and placed it between his teeth. With a sharp click, the elixir shattered, and he swallowed it in a single gulp.
As the terrifying medicinal essence surged, it hammered into his Meridians and flesh, transforming into a roaring tide of Qi-blood and essence!
Li Che’s eyes flashed like lightning. The Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded over the courtyard, sealing off all external perception and prying eyes!
Then, Li Che began his final charge.
His aura climbed steadily, sounding like a Heavenly God striking war drums, producing rhythmic, thunderous booms. His entire stomach seemed to turn into a furnace of extreme rigidity and Yang! Divine Fire blazed, refining the medicine as his Qi-blood boiled and surged into his limbs. His will, standing at the very peak of Martial Arts, began to slam into an invisible wall at the summit!
Thump-thump—
Thump-thump-thump—!!!
It was as if his very soul was ramming against that transparent barrier, causing a web of fine cracks to spread across the obstruction! Martial Saint Triple Opening, the Mountain Climbing Path... he had climbed tens of thousands of feet, and now he aimed for the very top!
Thump-thump-thump—
The collisions were violent, sounding like a Divine Bell in an ancient mountain temple being struck with all one's might, its echoes vibrating through the mortal realm. The waves of sound rippled through Li Che’s entire body, purifying his physical form and washing away every last impurity from his flesh!
Whoosh—
Suddenly, as Li Che sat perfectly still, the chair beneath him crumbled into fine dust.
The overwhelming aura surrounding him began to recede slowly. The scalding heat and the raging winds all calmed into a deep, quiet stillness.
